The yellow star that we are use to indicating a new message is a think of the past for modern browsers. It deals with security and history sniffing. We simply used the CSS styling of the A tag for Normal and Visited links to change the way the appear. There are a few blog posts about this subject:
So, until we get better read/unread tracking, the only thing we can change about a visited link tag is the color. I'm open to suggestions here. I don't care for the current method but it seems our hands are tied now. At least now people using modern browsers can determine read vs. unread messages.
